New Britian, Connecticut...Fourth of July...

Clint and I were a little unsure of what to do for the Fourth of July. We are usually close to family and participate in what they have going on. So we did a little research and found out that most places around here celebrate the Fourth either the weekend before or the weekend after. Luckily we found one place that actually had a celebration and fireworks on the Fourth.  We decided to take Oreo and let him experience his first Fourth of July. We had dinner from one of the little venders in the park and then sat on the hill and waited for the fireworks.  Clint and I thought the firework show was a worthy performance. Oreo probably had a different view. He basically burrowed his head in my arm like a little Ostrich and didn't come out until the fireworks were over.  It was kind of a hard day for me. I really missed not being able to be with my family and participate in the traditions there. But we made due with our situation and still had fun. :)
